We’re thrilled to announce this year’s Seismic Shift Award winners! Now in its fourth year, the Seismic Shift Awards honor the people who champion the ideals of sales enablement and sales and marketing alignment within their organizations, the teams and programs that have upended the idea of what a sales enablement process should look like and what it can accomplish, and those that have taken the Seismic product to innovative new heights.
This year’s winners are:
People
- Taryn Reed, Director of Commercial Enablement at Quest Diagnostics
- Steve Borsje, Co-head of Marketing and Messaging at Brown Advisory
Programs
- Cox Automotive
- Brinker Capital
Product
- Investec
- Refinitiv – Thomson Reuters
All award winners will be presenting at this year’s Seismic Shift, the company’s fifth annual customer conference. Over the course of three days—November 7-9 at the Pendry San Diego— Seismic Shift 2018 will boast a speaker lineup of 14 customers, industry thought leaders, and Seismic executives. We’ll be sharing sales enablement tips and some fun personal facts from our Shift Award winners, both from a sales enablement perspective and a personal perspective. You can get to know them in person at Seismic Shift, where they’ll be speaking as well as receiving Shift awards.
We will be profiling some of this year’s winners on our blog, showcasing their thoughts on the current state of sales enablement, sales and marketing alignment, and a few decidedly non-sales enablement questions!
The Winner: Ali McCarthy, National Marketing Director at Brinker Capital
